Dear Respondent,

We are reviewing the role of private owners in amphibian conservation and would like you to help by completing this survey. 

The increasing number of threatened species, and the inability of institutions to care for all these species, makes the role of private breeders/owners in amphibian conservation an increasingly important issue.

To collect this information we need as many amphibian lovers, keepers, and conservationists as possible to complete this survey.

The survey questions are simple and direct and the survey will only take about 10 minutes. 

Our Open Access article with the survey information should be published within six months."

We have an article in Froglog 104 on our pioneering program on the use of reproduction technologies for the hellbender http://www.amphibians.org/froglog/fl104/. This achievement made Scientific America.  http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/running-ponies/2012/12/13/endangered-eastern-hellbenders-bred-in-captivity-for-first-time/

Best, Robert
